ducted by Professor O. F. Stafford, head
or the department of chemistry of the
University of Oregon. Indicate that
srood quality of gai suitable for dis
tribution to customers in cities and
towns may be generated from waste

made at the laboratories of the uni
versity and upon a larger scale at the
Euzene Dlant of the Oregon Power
Company, prove that about eight cubic
feet of gas. with a heating value of
480 BrltiHh thermal units per cubic foot,
can be obtained from one pound of dry
fir wood. This wood may be the saw
mill waste, which Is usually turned
into the waste burners.
In this new process of gasmaking
the mill waste, thoroughly dried, is fed
to specially devised carbonising cham
bers maintained at a high temperature.
The large yield, as well as its unusual
q'uality. Is obtained by the production

The necessary high temperatures are
maintained by the burning of charcoal

process. The whole machine is devised
with particular reference to ease of
construction, operation and adaptability
to its work with' the particular raw
material to be used.
At the rate of production above In

PENDLETON. Or, Jan, 12. (Special.) On the 25th anniversary of the mar
riage of his parents. George Phelps, young Pendleton . business man, and
CUdys Slaughter, an, attractive young Pendleton woman, plighted their troth
Wednesday morning at St. Mary's Church in the presence of a few friends.
Rev. Father Brown officiating. The bride wore a traveling full of soft-toned
taupe with a small black hat and corsage bouquet ef Ophelia1, rosebuds and
violets. She was attended by Miss Sidney SommervIIle, who wore a smart
tallleur of taupe and carried vtoleta and pink rosebuds. Mr. Phelps was at
tended by Oscar Schultz.
Following the ceremony a wedding breakfast waa served to the mem
bers of the wedding party at the Kopper Kettle. Mr. and Mrs. Phelps left for
Portland, where they will visit for several days.
Mrs. Phelps Is the only daughter of Mrs. Lillian Cobn and has a large

cuoic leet in localities where "hogged
wood may be sold. ' When it is conniri.
ered that the production of gas from
crude oil requires an expenditure for
oil alone of something like 40 ents per
1000 feet of gas made, at present prices
of oil; when there is taken into account
the present world demand for oil and
the prospect for higher prices, and
when one considers the enormous
amount of wood waste available In the
sawmill districts of Oregon and Waih
ington, there appear some of th nni
billUes revealed by Professor Stafford's
experiments. .
It Is Professor Stafford's hellnf Ihii
in view or the scarcity of crude nil anrf
coal available for gas manufacture and
the necessity for economy in the uu
of these commodities, if wood could be
suostituted so as to produce gas even
at the same final cost, it would be of
great advantage to. do so. When it is
possible to substitute wood waste at a.
smaller cost the matter becomes one
for the saving thus affected in coal and
worthy of serious consideration, if only
oil, to say nothing of the possibility of
utilizing sawmill waste, always one of
me oig proDiema or conservationists,
Pore Product Is Possible.
In addition to the substitution of
wood for other gasmaking materials
in plants already in' operation, it will
be possible for communities which at
present have no gas plant to obtain the
product at reasonable prices where a
supply of wood waste is available, pro
vided, of course, 'that distribution con
ditions are not prohibitive. Operating
expenses at a plant where wood gas is
made are somewhat higher than in a
plant using oil, particularly where the
oil gas may be generated upon a very
large scale, but even in such cases the
use of wood may be found to be a pos
sibility because of the smaller 'cost of
the raw material.
The regulations of the Oregon Public
Service Commission require distribu
ting companies to furnish gas having a
heating value of not less than 600 Brit
ish thermal units per cubic foot, except
In Portland, where permission has been
granted to distribute gas carrying only
575 units in consideration, of a de
creased price made to the publi? for
this product. It Is possibl. according
to Professor Stafford, by the' uM of a
comparatively simple purification, pro
cess, to remove an incombustible gase
ous impurity from the' raw wood gas
and thereby bMfig the heating value up
to tne figure ''niowed -Dy the Cemmis
slon for Portland gas, but he questions
whether In most cases it would be the
best plan to add on to the cost of the
gas the expense of the-purification.
since the result to the consumer would
be mainly the payment of a higher
price for the heat units delivered to
him with no sufficiently compensating
advantage.
Method Thought Practical.
Heating and lighting appliances can
easily be adjusted to burn gas carrying
480 units. Permission would have to
be' obtained from the Publie Service
Commission to distribute gas of this
quality, but such permission might be
granted In view of the economy to the
consumer in the use of gas manufac
tured as simply and cheauly a this gas
would be when taken direct from the
generators.
The chemistry department at the uni
versity has not only investigated the
use of waste wood for making gas, but
Is also busily at work upon other as
pects of waste wood utilization. An
entirely new method of wood distilla
tlon has been worked out by Professor
Stafford, which will .introduce note
worthy economies into the wood distill
ing Industry. Details regarding this
new process will be available soon.
